I've never even seen a Whataburger

[-] InternetCitizen2@lemmy.world 3 points 3 weeks ago

They are over rated. And I'm a Texan.

[-] Asafum@feddit.nl 12 points 3 weeks ago

I used to be a Wendy's guy 100% but after moving and being far from any fast food, they're all kinda gross now unfortunately. I kinda miss liking Wendy's lol

Now it's my blackened burger with Bleu cheese and caramelized onions all the way! Goddamn it now I need to make one tomorrow...

[-] youreinthedrizzle@sh.itjust.works 2 points 3 weeks ago

You got a recipe you're willing to share? Would love to try making one of those.

[-] Asafum@feddit.nl 3 points 3 weeks ago

Unfortunately I just kinda wing it with everything I make so I couldn't tell you measurements, but it's basically garlic and onion powder, thyme, cayenne pepper, black pepper, and paprika. Other than that it's just a matter of coating the burger with butter and the seasoning and cooking it on high heat then top it with the Bleu cheese and caramelized onions!

[-] youreinthedrizzle@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 weeks ago

No worries! That sounds awesome, I'll have to take a shot at it this coming week.

[-] Today@lemmy.world 8 points 3 weeks ago

Whataburger. Whataburger. Just what a burger should be. The unbeatable, unbelievable, bigger, better burger. Whataburger.

Whosaburger

Whataburger

Whereaburger

Whenaburger

Whyaburger

Howaburger

I’m sad that our timeline only has one component of the Infinite Burger Mystery. Happy that we don’t live in the Whosaburger universe though

Whataburger vs Wendy's is a poor comparison. I see their true rivals are Five Guys, Shake Shack, and In and Out.

And if you're wondering about my pick, it's Five Guys.

[-] Zahille7@lemmy.world 9 points 3 weeks ago

Five Guys is way overpriced imo. Sure they fuck you up with fries, but it's not worth the almost $30 for a single person to eat there.

In-N-Out, on the other hand, is like $12-13 for a combo for one person and it's goddamn delicious every time.

[-] altima_neo@lemmy.zip 6 points 3 weeks ago

And five guys fries are almost always overdone. To the point of tasting bitter.

[-] dance_ninja@lemmy.world 5 points 3 weeks ago

I mean I tried In-N-Out, but it was just... Fine? Maybe it was over-hyped before I tried it, but I wasn't blown away. It didn't do anything wrong, but it didn't do anything for me.

My comments were steered more towards the burgers, but I will say none of the places I mentioned impressed me with the fries (esp Whataburger).

[-] 0ops@lemm.ee 2 points 2 weeks ago

In n outs fries actually taste like packing material. Probably my least favorite fast food fries. The burger was fine, you know for fast food.

[-] FigMcLargeHuge@sh.itjust.works 2 points 3 weeks ago

You should try the fries Animal Style and In-n-Out.

[-] Zahille7@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago

Get everything animal style at In-N-Out

[-] Switchy85@sh.itjust.works 2 points 3 weeks ago

I feel like in n out fries by default are way too under-cooked. They're basically floppy little potato tubes. You can order them light well and they fry them for just a bit longer so they don't suck. You can also get them well done, but then they're basically just potato chip sticks.

[-] whynotzoidberg@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago

I had the opportunity to have both whattaburger and in n out the same week during a trip to Arizona.

Whattaburger is so whunderwhelming. My memory of it is that it’s like a big ass frozen patty on a mediocre bun.

In n out had flavor combos popping in my mouth.

It’s a no brainer, to me. My partner used to die on the whattaburger hill, but changed her tune after that trip.

[-] CMDR_Horn@lemmy.world 4 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

Whataburger.

Whataburger is only in 16 states versus Wendy’s 50 so not really fair question.

Edit citation for my original 51. My brain turned off while I typed it out sooo yeah 50 states in the US

https://brilliantmaps.com/us-locations/wendys-locations-us/

[-] burkybang@lemmy.world 4 points 3 weeks ago

51 out of 50 states

[-] tobogganablaze@lemmus.org 1 points 3 weeks ago

Well, Canada also has Wendy's so ...

[-] Gerudo@lemm.ee 4 points 3 weeks ago

Your doing it wrong. It's the honey barbecue chicken strip sandwich from Whataburger you need to concern yourself with.

[-] scottmeme@sh.itjust.works 3 points 3 weeks ago

Whataburger!

[-] FreeBeard@slrpnk.net 2 points 2 weeks ago

This question is as American as it gets. No mention that it has no interest to everybody that is not from the US. The topic is about unhealthy food that is made almost similar in an anti human economy that only cares for price reduction. It's also very Reddit.

[-] BearOfaTime@lemm.ee 2 points 3 weeks ago

Meh, fast food burgers, so about the same, and I've had both. The whole Whataburger thing is some kind of weird Emperor's New Clothes.

[-] darklamer@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 3 weeks ago

I had to use Google Maps to find the answer to this and the answer is that the nearest Wendy's is 720 km away while the nearest Whataburger is 7,200 km away, which for purely practical reasons makes Wendy's 10 times better.

[-] HubertManne@moist.catsweat.com 2 points 3 weeks ago

Yeah no whataburgers in my area and I have never had them.

[-] myrrh@ttrpg.network 2 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

...wendy's has frosties, whataburger has dr. pepper shakes...

[-] Linktank@lemmy.today 1 points 3 weeks ago

More like Whereaburger! Amirite?

But seriously they don't have those here.

[-] RagnarokOnline@programming.dev 1 points 3 weeks ago

Wendys. Whataburger is too expensive and the burgers are too messy.

Both are good tho

[-] Willie@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago

Since you're asking everyone, Wendy's wins easily, since Wataburger literally doesn't exist for most people while Wendy's does.

[-] southsamurai@sh.itjust.works 1 points 3 weeks ago

I just ran across a post asking about what fast food burger is best.

So, I gotta ask, which whataburger? There's two. One is a chain out of Texas. The other is essentially just two restaurants in a town where my cousin lives lol.

I've never had the Texas version.

But the other one? Wayyyy better than Wendy's.

[-] Someonelol@lemmy.dbzer0.com 0 points 3 weeks ago

Wendy's tastes vaguely like In n Out. They used to taste way better a few years back. Whataburger is basically Burger King with mustard. Wendy's is by far the better option IMO.
